BAKED CHEESECAKE WITH BUTTERMILK
1 pkt (200 g) Tennis biscuits, crushed
125 ml melted butter
200 g plain cream cheese, at room temperature
1 Tin (397 g) tin condensed milk
250 ml buttermilk
3 large eggs
juice of 1 lemon
Fresh Fruit of your choice and a drizzle of Honey to decorate (I used Berry Medley Coulis from Woolies)
Preheat the oven to 150°C. Grease a springform cake pan.
Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter. Press the mixture onto the base of the prepared cake pan and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Stir the cream cheese until smooth. Add the condensed milk, buttermilk, eggs and lemon juice and mix well. Once the biscuit mixture is set, pour the cream cheese mixture into the cake pan and bake for 1 hour.
Switch off the oven, open the door and leave the cake to cool down completely.
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan and decorate.
